| Help Picking a Reel to Reel Deck I have owned teacs, pioneers, akai, revox and heard others to If you like your teac, you will love Revox or Akai, they both sound MUCH better than any teac that I have heard, Teac well built though but the others sound way better. | |
| Analogue front end. You want more weight, scale and dynamics.Where do you start upgrading? It all starts at the source, which is what you put it on, as pointed out above HRS stands DO make a difference, anything to minimize vibration is a good thing. I have 2 HRS stands and plan on getting another one, after that the turntable>tonea... | |

Currently have Akai and revox. look for the smaller Akais. they sound very good, revox sounds very good, so does pioneer, heard Sony is nice, Teacs to me sound mediocre, well built but to my ears Akai and R... | |
| Where's the next weak link in my analog chain? I have the same table set up (among other tables) looks pretty good, I am a source 1st guy BUT to improve on that table will take some cake, better cart would be a good choice, cables are always a crap shoot and it depends on how much you are will... | |
| Turntable upgrade To be clear I agree a better phono stage will give the OP better sound with what he has, my take is go to the next level turntable and a decent mm will give a better sound than option one and from there improve down the line....better cart and bet... | |
| Declare the correct value on the Customs form? I don't know anything about customs but the above comments are spot on, fraud is bad on any level and if you got something that wasn't nearly as described, and you put a $50.00 value on it, your refund will be $50.00 | |
| Turntable upgrade Here is my .02 cents as firm believer in source 1st, I would trade the p6 with Ania and do what I can to get the P8....if that’s a stretch get it with their carbon cart, ( I have that combo)keep the fono mc as you won’t get much for it. enjoy tha... | |

| MoFi "Mobile Fidelity" Master Phono. Possible but doubtful as I have 6 systems set up and 5 tables with different carts kind of threw the whole shebang at it, just didnt work for me sonically. | |
| MoFi "Mobile Fidelity" Master Phono. I played it enough and did try diferent set ups, I also bought it 'open box" so it had been played......and probably returned. I listen for the music and gear that makes me respond is what I am interested in. I have Graham Slee ARC, Icon Audio ps3... | |
| MoFi "Mobile Fidelity" Master Phono. I bought one.....didnt like it all, to me a big disappointment and I like MOFI, have their ultra deck among other tables and carts. Just never got going, kind of like it was just there. no real groove etc, sound was pleasant wasn't bright or anyth... | |

| critique my setup -- weak link? best way to improve? Sure it is, in football there is a place to start to improve the team, the offensive line is where I would start, again you can have Tom Brady....in his prime, won’t do you any good if the O line isn’t up to snuff, same with top running backs, won... |
